Editorial Reviews
Ray Bradbury
Another publishing triumph in the Space Age. A beautiful book of awe and wonder. Closing the book you are ten feet off the ground and a million miles out in the universe. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From Booklist
What must be reckoned one of the most spectacular space picture books of late contains 160 full-color photographs of everything from Alan Shepard's Redstone rocket ready for launch in 1961 to the repaired Hubble telescope being relaunched in 1993. It also contains some 40 little essays by some 30 members of the Association of Space Explorers, the international astronauts' organization that is now celebrating its tenth anniversary. Some of these contain only conventional one-world and environmental sentiments, while others reflect on the difficulties all space farers have had with their hardware, their health, their ground controls, and one another. But the photographs are so well chosen and well reproduced that they guarantee the book entry into most space collections all by themselves; the essays are just a welcome bonus. Highly recommended. Roland Green --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
